This is to give you a general idea and background of my problems, I also posted on this site before but I cant find them
Problem: OK so I bought the PC above 2.5 years ago (January 2014) and I have had problems for as long as I remember, and because I am stupid never did anything about them. So first of all I would like to say that I don't usually play games that require lot of power, my main game being Runescape, which runs fine, and this is why I have ignored the problem for so long. Recently however, Runescape's graphics where updated and problems started to arise.
Let me explain further, so for a long time, whenever I played games which required some more power, such as FIFA, GTA, RUST, ESO and so on, I would start to see green (or purple shaped on FIFA) boxes and polygons randomly flashing on the screen until finally it would crash. I fixed the one on FIFA by turning on adaptive V-sync, but for GTA and other games I never fixed it until recently. Since Runescape made the upgrade I talked about earlier, these same green flashes started happening on it aswell until it would crash, I searched a bit online and I found it was about temperature so I turned the fan on full by downloading MSI afterburner and the same thing did not happen, so I started using it for RUST and GTA, I have not seen these flashes since.
Obviously that was not the end to my problems or I would not be here. So first of all I would like to say that games such as dark souls 1 and 2 have never given me any problems, and not all games give me problems. So after fixing this problem, a new one emerged. Basically, games such as Elder scrolls online, GTA V, and Rust, randomly freeze and I can still hear the game audio, and I can still control my character, but I cannot alt-tab, I would have to ctrl+alt+del and then the game would crash, usually resulting in the message, display driver has stopped working. This freeze happens randomly, sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes minutes or more. I tried running virus scans, checking the temps of both CPU and GPU which are fine, running as administrator, playing around with vysnc, and a bunch of Geforce experience settings, formatted the PC, and 2 days ago took it to the PC store I bought the computer from. They had it for 2 days and concluded that it was my antivirus interfering with the games. They removed the antivirus and I tested it out today. ESO is still freezing like before and so is rust. I didn't test it out on GTA yet but I'm sure that it ill freeze. After being disappointing that the problem is still there, i tried a few things myself that did not work. I removed all NVIDIA things with DDU and installed a much older driver. The only change I saw was that when the game freezes I can no longer control the character and I have to wait for ctrl+alt+del to work, so it is more of a step backward.
Sorry for the long post please ask me anything you want for any information you may need, I will try my best to co-oprate so that someday I will fix this problem. THANKYOU
EDIT: I found my previous posts on this website, just to give a better background of my problems
